This dragon is at home in frigid waters and in the icy winds with equal ease.
This was my Christmas card for 2005. Some of them I printed on a metallic greeting card paper and the colors need to be very brilliant to show up well on this media, as the metallic stock tends to dull it slightly. So I boosted the blues and cyans here quite a bit.
This is, like many of my dragon illustrations, drawn with micron pens, scanned in and colored in Photoshop, then I used some of my digital photos as the backdrop. This one uses ice and dew.
Thanks... normally I wouldn't have the background as bright as this, it's really because I am overcompensating for how I knew it would print. If it were a little more subdued it might not stick out as much.
The thing that gets at me is the change in background color, the green vs the overall blue. If the green were blue... maybe it wouldn't bug me. I like it though, great job.

When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
Have a great time everyone and please fav this article so as many people can see the featured works. I would recommend seeing each one and faving them too.
